i hate that annoying action bar ....

Hello guys.
Just bought a galaxy note 10.1.
I need your advice how YOU handle your device. I do have some troubles.
1. You know the palm rejection thing on the right corner in s note? Its driving me nuts.
Because everytime I write I accidently touch it and palm rejection is disabled. What do you do to avoid it?
2. The black action/status bar on the bottom of the screen seems to be always there. It is so annoying while watching a movie or playing
Games... Anyway to hide it when not used. ?Or is there a way to put it on top?
Thanks

I dont use S-note so I dont know about that but I use GMD gesture control to hide the system status bar and GMD s-pen control to disable finger touch input all together.
I use lecturenotes to take notes w/ the pen and prefer fullscreen use along w/ no palm interference. Hope that helps.

Yeah. GMD S Pen control for disabling finger touch and GMD Gesture control for removing the status bar. Perfect combination.

If first put the pen near the screen your hand doesn't work. So first use your pen then set your hand on screen!

[Q] Silly question: Current Apps

I've googled it and got nothing.
Search this forum and not found it either
On Windows 8, if I scroll my mouse to the left/ left corner of the screen, I can see my current apps.
I can then close them.
With my keyboard connected I can do this on my surface using trackpad.
How do I do it without my keyboard connected?
I don't want to swipe them in, I want to see the icons of the apps I have running so I can close them.

you have to swipe in from the left a short distance. I don't own a windows touch device but did get a go on a display model, was kinda fiddly to get the distance just right, was probably about half the distance you need to swipe to switch apps. With some practise you should be able to nail it.

There's two behaviours for a short swipe in from the left. I believe the default one is to "swipe in" the last used app. Whereas what you want is to see a list of currently running apps (me too).
Go Settings>Change PC Settings and you're looking for a setting something like "App Switching">"When I swipe in from the left edge, switch between my recent apps instead of showing a list of them". In 8.1 that setting is under PC & devices, I can't recall if it's the same in 8.

The default way to do what you're asking is to swipe in from the left edge, then swipe back to the edge without releasing the swipe. It's a very quick and easy gesture easily made with the thumb; you don't have to swipe in more than maybe 1/4 of an inch (6mm) before swiping off the screen again to get he app switcher sidebar to appear.
To close the apps using touch only, you can do the following:
Drag the app from the sidebar off the bottom of the screen.

thanks, that's great.

[Q] SG Note 10.1 Multitasking bar issue

How do I move multitasking bar to right, left on the screen. Currently placed at the bottom is very annoying as it pops out everytime I use S pen and my palm touches it. I hv checked the palm restrict button but it only works in s note area not in menu bar at bottom.
Pl help. GT N8000, 4.1.2

You need to enable palm rejection in system setting, not s-note settings

I totally agree, mutlitasking bar and even more the Quikpanel popping out very very often are very very annoying.
Multitasking bar keeps coming even with no apps in it, what's the point of this bar anyway as you get a button that brings you all the openned apps at the bottom left of the screen.
But what bothers me most is the Quick Panel, drives me crazy !
Sure, there's palm rejection, but when thinking of what to write next, I don't think of keeping the pen close enough to the screen and bam the quikpanel pops up, hate it.
I love this tablet, it's fantastic, handwriting to text is amazing,
but why on earth did they put the quick panel on the bottom right right where 90% users put their writing hand,
Menues have allways been on the left in Windows, MacOs, in all softwares, why change ??!!
Can't it be deactivated ?
Lefties are lucky.

Thanks buddy, at least some one shares the same concern, I am surprised that no responses from the expert developers so far on this forum. I wish they can reach this to the Samsung guys......and before that help to come up with a work around.

Use GMD s-pen control. You can enable palm rejection from there.

app or option thet detects s pen proximity (like airview)

I've not been using the S-Pen the way i thought i would. The reason for it is because i often have problems that my palm accidently touched the notification bar or that my hand triggers a gesture set in GMD Gesturecontrol.
So what i'm looking for is a way for the device to register if the s-pen is near the screen and then deactivate gestures or even go full screen so i can't hit the notificationbar.
Has anyone found a App that can do something like that.
I know there are Apps that give a trigger for when the s-pen is detached, but i'm often holding the pen and still use my fingers for pressing buttons, so i'm not looking for that.

i thought that the Note 10.1 itself disable finger touchs when the s-pen is near the screen, isn't it @@

I thought so too, however, when holding the pen near the screen gestures still work.

Multitouch issue/disable with the status/notification bar?

Hello. So i made the switch to the S10e and i've been running into this issue where if i accidentally hold my phone with my finger just touching the selfie camera (or any part of the status/notification bar at the top of the screen), any and all other touch inputs just get disabled.
Any solutions to this? I assume Android thinks i'm going to pull it down and disables every other touch or something, but is there an option not to do that but still keep the draggable status bar? This also happens in all apps and the home screen/apps etc. no matter the screen.
Activating Show Taps in developer shows that the OS DOES see both my taps, the status bar and anything else, just that the software-side blocks other inputs once that initial status bar touch is seen and still active. It does NOT happen with the back/home/apps bar or generally anywhere else. I have tried making sure Nova launcher isn't doing anything. Tried Accidental touch protection On and Off and a host of other settings. Confirmed this is a status bar issue with hiding it in Samsung Internet and repeating the test.
Tried EdgeTouch with NiceLock but it only really helps for the sides which aren't really my issue.
Rarely this sometimes happens with stuff on screen too in the OS itself and in apps. Usually it's with triggering a function like holding the phone with touching the left hand of the screen and accidentally 'dragging' a menu' into view a few pixels, and then that disables all other input until it's gone. But that's fine since it's very rare. It's more more often than the status/notification bar is my main issue.

Do you use a case? That's what help'd me with accidental screen touches. An "ultra slim" case was all it took for me. Hope you find what works for you.

I am really against cases, as i really want a compact fone, and there are extremely few which get launched with AMOLED nowdays. I'd rather solve this via software.
